My name is Douglas McLay. I have been circuit racing for more than 40 years and have raced regularly in the Monoposto Championship since the mid 1990s.  Recently I completed a long restoration of "Buzzie", one of the very earliest 500s, and raced her at the Goodwood Members Meeting this year.

I would now like to obtain a "mainstream" 500 to compete within the club circuit racing championship. Buzzie is a bit slow and and unreliable for regular 500 races!

I am looking for a car which will run reliably in the main pack. I don't need a car which is a potential championship winner but I want to enjoy some competitive racing with other members in the field. I am happy do some re-fettling of a complete car that a member hasn't raced for sometime, but I don't want to do a complete restoration or have to chase lots of parts to get it ready to race. I am hoping that someone may have something suitable for me to obtain and race with the club

If you can help,  I can be contacted as follows:

This competitive Cooper F3 has recently been the subject of a no expense spared restoration. Second at the recent Castle Combe Historic event and ready to compete in 2022.

 Believed originally to be a Manx engined car, now with a freshly rebuilt JAP by Jim Edwards to the best specification ensuring performance and reliability.

 Beautifully presented with just the right amount of patina, or alternatively paint over the winter in the cars original Cooper racing green?

 Interesting history that warrants further investigation.

 Offering the potential to compete at some great events next year. All sensible offers considered.

I am looking for a petrol starter for my 500 F3 racer - Any condition

Cooper Mk6 1952 rolling chassis with Norton gearbox and clutch. Some spares including starting rollers. 500 Owners VIF.
Now comes with a JAP 4b 1952 engine, not fitted in car. Magnesium cases, Alfin barrel, hairpin valve springs and Amal twin float type 27/023 carb. Engine is partly dismantled and has been stored for decades, it is in excellent condition. Possibly an original Formula 3 engine as sold by Jackson.

Willment 500cc one-off project for restoration.

Water cooled 500cc, four cylinder engine, lovely all-enveloping aluminium body. Original Borrani wire wheels, Most parts are with the car, but a few parts such as the carbs will need to be sourced.

A description of the Willment 500 from the 1974 article in, The Motor,

‘It had countless novelties, in particular a one-off in-line four cylinder engine, (Bugatti inspired) with twin overhead cams, and a bult up crank with one piece con-rods on roller bearings. It was square at 54/54 mm and had an 11.1 compression ratio. Maximum continuous revs were 10,400 but over 12,000 has been seen! Apart from the from the Dellorto carburettors and Scintilla magneto, everything was designed and made in Twickenham (at the Willment works).

The same applies to the clutch and five-speed gearbox with integral differential-and inboard disc brakes. The chassis is a multi-tube space frame with wishbone front suspension and De Dion at the rear.

The whole project which took from 1952 to 1954 to

complete was overseen by Louis Giron, one-time Bugatti man.

Much of the mechanical bits were the responsibility of Messrs.

Wadworth and Hewland, the latter then a Willment mechanic, (latterly) Hewland and Hewland gearboxes. ‘

Further information can be found on the website Willment

It would be great to see it in the hands of someone who has the time and resources to restore it.

Currently safely dry stored in Lymington. Viewings by appointment.

Offers around £25,000

For those of you who use electric roller starters and have to be independent of helpers from time to time (or are just control freaks!) the existence of a driver-operated stand is essential. These two are my prototypes (the one you’ll see at meetings is the ‘Mk III’), the smaller was used for my first season and the larger as a possible final design, and although rough and ready is the stronger.

The tops are designed for a wishbone arrangement and they are easy to adapt to any rear suspension arrangement. These were used with a Cooper and a JBS.

Surplus to requirements (who needs three stands?), £50 will get you the one of your choice (or if you want one to use and one for your coffee table, £75 the pair).

This is a home-made paddock starter assembled from all-new parts around 4 years ago and never operated at a circuit as I have electric rollers. It’s been used for turning over my cars at home and works well. It would benefit from a softer tyre on the kart wheel – these are easy to get in used condition.

It’s very manoeuvrable as it was constructed onto a sack-cart base and is robust. The engine, clutch, drive sprockets, shaft and chain were all bought new for the build, and are enclosed in an easily removable cover. The starter was designed to allow the operator to stand to one side of the car, not directly behind the exhaust.

I’d love it to be used, and offer it for sale. There is a video of it running (before it was cleaned) on this link:

http://www.youtube.com/shorts/WJTfhE6K48U

JAP Speedway engine 500cc, in regular use until two years ago in Cooper for hillclimbs and sprints. This engine was used exclusively in short run meetings and was always strong and reliable. It was looked after by a recognised expert in JAP engines.

It's been stored since I fitted a Norton engine to the Cooper and is now surplus to requirements, and comes with a Lucas Magneto. £2,850 ovno

Looking for a project car - Do you have one tucked away that you probably will never actually get around to doing?

If you do then take pity on me and give me a call. I'm happy to consider most things, UK or Overseas, as long as there is at least some traceable provenance.

For Sale - FJS   500cc F3

A unique car , made by Lucien Quadbach of Belgium, raced in the early 1950s , Topolino based.

Sold to Luca Dupanloup (1945-2000),a cartoonist, of TINTIN fame .Upon his death the original JAP engine had been removed for rebuild--it was never returned.

The history is not known but the nature of motor racing over this period was very local and informal and unlikely to be recorded.It is presumed to have run in France and Benelux ,there is a Swiss oil sticker on the engine cover.

The car is variously mentioned in the publication "Bibel Du Racer 500" and was at some time

The car was purchased in 2009 by a Formula Junior owner/driver and was at some time sent to the UK and offered to members of the 500 fraterinty

It lay in storage for a number of years ,and I purchased the car in 2017 , it appeared to have been prepared for display in a museum and could not be driven .

The car was supplied with a JAP 4B engine , the engine and Norton Laydown transmission have been overhauled and rebuilt by acknowledged tradesmen and enthusiasts .

The drive has been set up with the help of 500club members to give optimal performance with the 4B engine .

The carburettor is a Gardner 

The rebuild is almost completed , the car has a VIF #117.

My reason for the sale    following a knee operation and a subsequent foot operation ---I am 

not 100 % on the Stop and Go foot .

The car is on a trailer, with an unused spare wheel--and cover .The car has been stored undercover 

There is an as yet unused battery powered starter

 4 dollies to move the car around a workshop

there is a JAP sump for the engine with the outlet for an oil catch tank

Canadian Cooper Car Club member Robert Follows has for sale a complete Cooper steering rack assembly for sale.

I am mechanical engineer by trade so I am happy to tackle most types / levels of restoration.

 If anyone knows of a suitable car or project please get in contact. I am based in the West Midlands but willing to travel or arrange  import for the right vehicle.

JP Cars [ Joe Potts] were built in Bellshill near Glasgow in Scotland and some 34 cars of different types were built in the 1950-55 period. There are believed to be 8 remaining. Joe Potts drove a Cooper car in 1949 and was sure he could improve the handling, so he decided to build his own cars. They are probably the only race cars to be built in Scotland. This car is a Mk1b it was built in 1951 and remained in Scotland. During the 1950's and early 60's it was modified and evolved into a special known as the Osclyat. In 2010 the JP chassis was fully restored to an exacting and original specification and has been little used since. A new aluminium body was built at the same time, painted in Ecurie Ecosse metallic blue and fitted to the black chassis. The engine is the popular JAP 4B 500cc (Full 'Car' specification with Aluminium Barrel, 84S big port head and Dellorto SS1 Carburettor) and correct Norton Dollshead gearbox. Suspension is the tried and tested transverse leaf spring arrangement and is fitted with the rarely seen original Girling dampers. Excellent Dunlop R5 tyres fitted on immaculate steel wheels. Spares include new Protech dampers, new clutch plates, Amal Concentric carburettor, RSA harnesses,spare wheel with new tyre and Talon engine sprockets. An interesting car with history, in superb condition and on the button. It comes with a history file, MSA Logbook and 500 Owners Club VIF No. 051. Price £20,000.

Stored for years, in 1981 MkV/12/51 passed to Ian & Bev Garmey who rebuilt and raced it for 34 years. Restored by Garmey to original spec, with fresh engine by Dave Gifford.
